The Bag Game

I assure you, after you get a load of our family activities you are all going to be DYING to be a part of our holiday gatherings...

So here's the game...

1. Take a paper grocery sack
2. Place it on the floor
3. Everyone has to bend over and pick up the bag with their mouth and WITHOUT touching the floor with their hands or knees.
4. Cut off 1+ inches and then go another round

How low can YOU go?!

Warming up before the game...















Yes, this was the winning piece of bag. That my sister picked up.
With her mouth.
Without touching the ground.
And without putting forth much effort.



The winner and the runner up.
With the size of the original and winning bag pieces for comparison.



You might think that we just came up with a random game, but you'd be wrong. My cousin introduced us to this little gem, and we have played this game just about every year since. And now we have a commemorative trophy to keep track of the winners. Seriously.

Congrats!

I've said it before, but I will say it again. For so many reasons, I have the world's most amazing coworkers. They are, without a doubt, the most kind, caring, supportive, intelligent, loving and fabulous people around.

One of the big bummers about working in health care is that there is never a time when everyone is off. We are open every single minute of every single day, and that means that there are always people who can't come to events. That's a bummer, but we all know that's how it goes...

A few weeks ago one of my coworkers got married. She had a Sunday evening wedding, which was a first for me. She also had a reception without alcohol, which was another first. And she had Elvis, which was perhaps the biggest first of all.

No. Really.

Her dad dressed up like Elvis and sang. For an hour.

I can't make this stuff up.

But the wedding was gorgeous -- and we all wish them nothing but the best as they start their married life!

Best Shot Monday - Babies

Two of the girls that I work with just had babies. Each of them have other children, but this time they both had girls! Before now, it was all boys at their houses.

Since this wasn't their first go around, they didn't have a 'traditional' shower. But we still wanted to get together and celebrate these lovely girls -- we spend all our time at work welcoming other people's babies, so it was such a joy to celebrate two little additions to some of our own.
